How to declare Null indicators in COBOL-DB2 program 1

[gopikrishna]

Hi,

I have a set of null indicator variables in a copy book (VYPNULHD). Pre-compiler is not recognizing COPY statement and gives error messages at the SQL SELECT stmt. I tried to include it within EXEC SQL and END-EXEC, still I get an error message saying it cannot be included.

Can somebody help me in figuring out how to declare this?

Thanks,
Gopi.

For a 'copybook' to be brought into the program by the pre-compiler, it will need to INCLUDEd as in:
EXEC SQL
INCLUDE VYPNULHD
END-EXEC

The library where this copybook resides will have to be in the JCL in the DDNAME SYSLIB.

This should resolve your problem, if it dcoes not, please let us know, with relevant error messages.
